Penne, 29, captured her title on Oct. 6 by submitting Jewels
champion Naho
Sugiyama with a second-round triangle choke at Invicta FC 3 on
Oct. 6. The win marked Penne’s second consecutive conquest since
returning to competition last year following 17 months on the
sideline. The once-beaten atomweight made her Invicta debut at the
promotion’s inaugural event in April, taking out Lisa Ellis
via third-round technical knockout.

Schuckman on Oct. 6. Waterson owns six of her 10 career wins by
submission and has gone the distance just three times in nearly six
years as a pro.
